In the trial, 24 COVID-19 patients hospitalized with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome received either two infusions of 100 million stem cells within three days or infusions of a placebo.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a serious COVID-19 complication that results from severe inflammation and fluid buildup in the lungs. Most affected patients need some sort of organ support.
Patient survival at one month was 91% in the stem cell group and 42% in the placebo group, researchers found.
Among the patients younger than 85 years old, 100% of those treated with stems cells had survived at the one-month mark. Researchers also reported that the treatment was safe, with no adverse infusion-related events.
